  I transferred my domain melissa-field.com to the blog http://thegoodluckknot.wordpress.com/. I want to transfer this back to the original website, webs.melissafield.com. I am trying really hard to figure out how to do this but it’s unclear to me. Can you please help?
  Blog url: http://thegoodluckknot.wordpress.com/

  You’ll need to map the subdomain separately, following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-subdomain/

  Hello and thank you for your response – the above is what I did to add the domain to wordpress. I want to transfer it away from WordPress back to my original site. I switched the primary name back to the wordpress blog address, but my original site still redirects to WordPress. I think I need the authorization code to transfer it back. How do I get this?

  Oh, the main domain is just mapped here and registered elsewhere.

  To point the domain elsewhere, you’ll need to change the nameservers through your domain’s registrar.
